No. 09-2363

MARIE THERESE ASSA’AD-FALTAS, MD, MPH,

Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, in his official capacity,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Terry L. Wooten, District Judge. (3:06-cv-00080-TLW)

Submitted: June 17, 2010 Decided: June 23, 2010

Before MOTZ and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Frank Daley, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, Thomas Stephen Inman, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Denver, Colorado, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, M.D., M.P.H., appeals

the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation to affirm the Commissioner’s decision denying her

disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act, as

well as its order denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, although we grant Assa’ad-Faltas’s motion for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny her motion for

extension of time to file a supplemental pro se brief and affirm

the district court’s orders. See Assa’ad-Faltas v. Commissioner

of Soc. Sec., No. 3:06-cv-00080-TLW (D.S.C. Mar. 27, 2007; filed

Oct. 19, 2009, entered Oct. 20, 2009). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
